A/N: Ha ha! Today begins another story! (And yes, it will probably have the same erratic update schedule.) We've all seen the cracked-out TeniPuri Family episodes with Seigaku tossed into family positions. This takes it a step further and tortures the other schools as well. First up is Rikkai Dai. (This has been posted in Tennis Ficlets. Just skip to the next one if this seems familiar.)
TeniPuri Family - Rikkai
A normal day in the Rikkai household wasn't really all that normal. Little explosions would usually be going off all around the house. But for right now, everything was calm. Seiko wandered about the house, trying to find her son, but to no avail.
"Akaya! Akaya, where are you?" she called. The pitter-patter of two little feet alerted her to the seven-year-old running in her direction.
"Here I am, Mommy!" Akaya piped up, coming to a stop a few feet away. His innocent smile was firmly in place, not betraying a hint of the mischief he was just getting up to. (If you looked into his sister's room, you would see marker drawings over everything, including the recently painted walls.)
Seiko smiled down at Akaya. "Akaya, do you know where Daddy and Bun-chan are?" She pulled him gently into the kitchen and handed him a cookie.
"Dun know," he replied, munching furiously on his cookie and begging for more. Suddenly, he was picked up and thrown over a shoulder then carted out of the room to the backyard. Seiko followed after as Akaya squirmed, trying to see who was holding him.
"Unca Niou!" he cried, finally seeing the culprit. Akaya tugged on Niou's ponytail while waving hello to Uncle Yagyuu. Uncle Yagyuu always brought Uncle Niou over; Mommy said they were "special friends."
Out in the backyard, the four stumbled upon Bunta watching her father, Genichirou, Yanagi-san, the next door neighbor, and Jackal-san, the live-in baby sitter (the kids really were a handful sometimes), loading a black powder into a rocket.
"Now this is what happens when you put too much gunpowder into a rocket," Yanagi said before pushing everyone behind a barrier. The resulting explosion could be heard for miles.
Everyone was coughing as the smoke finally cleared away. "Yanagi-san," Seiko said. "Please don't deliberately set off large explosions in our yard." Yanagi gulped at the look being sent his way and nodded. That taken care of, Seiko turned to her original task. "Genichirou, would you please run out to the store and get some milk?" He was gone before she could finish the sentence.
"Mommy, Mommy!" Bunta smiled as she ran up to her mother with a lollipop in her mouth. "I got to launch a rocket!" the eight-year-old chirped.
"You did?" Seiko looked at Yanagi again. He set to collecting all his rocketry and ran back to his house across the street.
"Uh huh! And Jackal-san gave me some candy!" Bunta showed off the cache of candy in her pocket.
"Did you say thank you?" Seiko asked, leading her back inside for lunch.
"Yep! And he said if I got an A on my test, we can go to the park tomorrow!" Bunta skipped merrily ahead of her mother. "Akaya gets to come too but only if he's good and doesn't get into another fight."
Jackal followed the two into the house. "Hopefully that'll be enough to convince him not to provoke anyone. I don't understand why he does it."
The two adults watched Akaya wrestle outside with Niou. Yagyuu stood off to the side, doing a running commentary on the match. Akaya was announced the winner when a shriek echoed from Bunta's room. It seems she found Akaya's artistic talent.
A/N: I kinda fail at Japanese, but I tried to feminize Yukimura's name. Marui I gave up on. I'll gladly take any suggestions! Now move along, on to the next story! More Rikkai craziness and daddy!Sanada.
